[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Opposition to Removal of Price Cap on .Info Domains
by Derek DeVries April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

To whom it may concern, I would like to express my objection to the proposed removal of the price cap for wholesale domain registrars like Public Interest Registry (PIR). The Internet is a utility, and given PIR's position as a natural monopoly, costs must be controlled by government oversight to protect citizens and businesses.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Removing .info registration fee cap
by Jonathan Lord April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I am against removing the .info registration fee cap. I use a .info domain to run my blog as a learning environment and to use the power of the web to reach my information no matter where I am. I know that this isn't a very sexy reason to have a domain, but if you allow a free for all for the domain space covered under the old rules, then the renewal rate might prevent me from having a sandbox to keep my web skills up to date, and a place to store my life that I control, not Facebook, or Google, or Microsoft, or other entities that use personal data for their own purposes, not my purposes. Thank you for listening. Best regards, Jonathan Lord https://www.drwingnut.info

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] No not remove price cap
by Justin Smith April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

ICANN: The removal of the price cap provisions on the .info gTLD is a bad idea. The current 10% per year price increase is 8% higher than required to keep up with our rate of inflation in the US. Justin Smith

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Price changes
by Tyler Kunz April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hello, Please reconsider these changes which could potentially allow large increases to the cost of domains. It's so important for the internet to remain open, and removing any limitations on prices will push out a lot of individuals who would otherwise be able to afford an online presence. Thank you for your consideration.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Please do not increase prices
by Rachel Wolfe April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I am writing to request the prices do not increase. I have been a namecheap.com <http://namecheap.com/> customer for several years, and my business if very small-operated just by me, and the costs of doing business are felt on every level. When things start costing more than those providing a service can afford, the weight gets distributed to those at the bottom who can least afford it.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] comment on the .info renewals
by Sky Canyon April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hi – would like to comment – please keep the .info pricing low – these are typically not commercial businesses – and it makes sense for them to not be paying big fees for these domains. Thank you very much, Sky Canyon Sky Canyon PHONE: 303-499-8998 TEXT/CELL: 303-809-5395 sky(a)sunnysidegroup.com

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Writing in opposition of uncapping fees for .info domains
by Oshyan April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hello, As a small business owner and entrepreneur, I work with a limited budget and constant financial challenges. Like most modern businesses I also rely heavily on the Internet to reach my customers. The .info domain has been offered for sale at reasonable prices that businesses like mine can afford for years. The proposal to uncap fees that the registry operator can charge will have a dramatic negative impact on the hundreds of thousands of small business owners and entrepreneurs like myself. There is no compelling reason aside from pure profit motive to allow this rule change and I strongly oppose it. Please remove this change for the renewed agreement for the .info domain name. Sincerely, Oshyan Greene

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] protect internet users: don't allow massive rate hikes for domain purchases
by Dave Ruder April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Domain vendors being free to raise rates drastically each year would be a disaster for internet users and content creators. It would encourage unscrupulous bulk domain name purchasing, lining the pockets of scammers at the expense of individuals and organizations who are trying to make a home for their work on the internet. It would needlessly strengthen the hand of the Facebooks, Amazons, and Googles of the internet but stifling anything smaller in the ecosystem. Just as cities and states need rent control to prevent landlords from further crippling tenants, the goals of the internet are far better served when domains are kept inexpensive and readily available. Sincerely, Dave Ruder Brooklyn, NY
